Signal Launches Long-Awaited Backup Feature with Subscription Plan
Signal users have long faced the challenge of losing their chat history when switching phones. However, Signal has now announced a solution to this issue with the introduction of a backup feature. Users can now opt for a $1.99 monthly subscription to keep their chat history backed up indefinitely. This feature comes with a 64-character recovery key that users must safeguard to ensure data restoration in case of device transitions.
Is Signal Catching Up with Competitors?
This new backup feature brings Signal closer to its competitors like WhatsApp, which has offered encrypted backups for a while. The difference lies in Signal's in-house backup system, emphasizing privacy over reliance on third-party services like Google Drive or iCloud.
Community Response
Feedback on the pricing plan has been positive, with users appreciating the reasonable cost for securing their Signal data. The upcoming subscription model has been well-received as a small price to pay for peace of mind.
